Steyning Jazz Club

Friday 04 July 2025

Trumpeter and band leader Chris Coull leads his octet of inspired jazz soloists in his “Tribute to the Duke” a project which has been several years in the making. Chris has faithfully transcribed original 20s, 30s and 40s Duke Ellington gems into a distillation of tunes arranged for this four-horn front line, creating a fitting musical eulogy to the great man.

Expect a chronological, informed and sophisticated journey from the Duke’s beginnings at the Cotton Club through to the popular war time hits and collaborations with Billy Strayhorn. The band line-up will be: Chris Coull, trumpet; Andy Panayi, reeds; Jon Brown, trumpet; Mike Pilley, trombone; Terry Seabrook, piano; Dan Sheppard, bass; Joe Edwards, drums; and Lucy Pickering, vocals.

8.00pm at Steyning Jazz Club, The Steyning Centre, Fletchers Croft, Church Street, Steyning BN44 3YB. Doors open 7.15pm. Full bar provided by Riverside Brewery.

Admission: £15 (advance booking only), students and members £10.
